What I have learned in this life is you can never be ashamed of where you come from.

I was a very poor young black boy in New Orleans, just a face without a name, swimming in a sea of poverty trying to survive.

The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.

I'm a child who was abused. I know the difference. I clearly know the difference. The whipping for correction and then their child abuse.

It's a clear day Sonny, L A N D.

Everyone can relate to love, hurt, pain, learning how to forgive, needing to get over, needing the power of God in their life.

You put some Vaseline under your eyes at night and under your chin, and you put a little bit on your chest and you'll avoid stretch marks and I'll get you some Vaseline, you can change your oil and fry chicken with it, too, but you best make sure you have something.
